A HORSEADVENTURE.
. The following racy adventure, is
froni the Autobiography of P. T. Bar:
num. Barnum loves a joke, and is as
full of fun 'as an egg is of meat" as
is shoWn by the stylaof tbe
ing narrative:
'My father, beside being in ; _the mer.
eantile line and keeping the, village'
tavern? alsn ran a freight wagon to
Norfolk, and kept a .small livery sta
ble. Ile Was fond of a joke, and had
a sir, peculiar Waggish kink in his rm.'
tore, which led him to turn some
pretty n.i,ce ! t'ri ont3:4s:eelfskorr,
a young Mad _naineaelsofi- Beere,
applied to hienfor the use of 'a,.hoese
to ride . , In Dun,hury; a distance of
miles- 7 1 Nelson was an appreli
tieb to the shoe-making business,
nearly out of his timer; was not over
stocked with brains, and .;lived a mile
and a half east of
_our village. My
father thought it would be , better for
Nelson to make his short journey on
foot than to be at the expense of hir
ing a horse, but he did not tell him
so. We, , had an old, horse named
'Bob' that having reached an age be.
yond his teens, was turned out in
the bog lot near our house to. die,—
he was literally. a living skeleton,
.
and was much in We same condition
of ,the Yankee's nag, which was so
weak his.owner had to dire
hoes horse to help him
.. draw his last
breath. - My father, theretore lin re.
ply to Nelson's application told him
that the livery horses were - all out,
and hp had none a t . honie..exPept 'a
fainous 'race horse,' Which — he was
keeping in low flesh, in order to have
him in proper trim .to win' a great
•
race to come off.
'Oh,. .do let me itave - hip,'`Uncle
Philo,* fwill ride him very, carefully
and.not-lnjore him in the
'lle is too valuable, an animal to
risk in the hands of a - young nian
life you,' responded my' father.,
Nelson continued to importune, and
my father to play it OM until it was
finally agreed that the horse could' he
had on the condition - that. he should
in no case be rode faster than'a walk
or slow trot; and that= "be should' be
fed with four quarts of bats''at.l);&::
bury.' Nelson started on .lriosinante;'
lookinvieif he 'Was on- a mission to
the (carron crows,' but he felt efery

the country, and realized that - tygreat

TERRIBLE BATTLES
FOUGHT ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
Chan cellorsville
CHANdELLOOIII7I.LE, VA., 10 'MILES WEST rr
SOI3TIT OF FREDERICKSBURG,
Saturday, Midnight, May 2 , 1888
The military situation on Saturday morning'
stands as 'follows : Our main' foree holds the po--
sitiena at Chatirellorsoille, confronting the main'
rebel army now massed opposite us. Howard's
corps has the extreme right; then a division of
Siettels' corps ; then Slocum ; then Couch ; then
?death on the left—Huombrey's division of
Afeade's corps holding the extreme of the left.—
Working parties have been employed during the
whole flight in throwing op breastworks, and the
woods have resounded with the strokes of a thou
sand axe-men felling trees for the purpose of
constructing abattis. We bear the rebels, not
half a mile distant, at work with the same view,
and in the morning both armies are well entrench
ed. It will now be who will come out and give
battle.
SO 'Mich for the right. Another, though mi
nor force , is working on the left, independently,
yet with its definite stragetie bearings on Oa
main operation. Tb is subordinate operation is
at Fredericksburg. Balloon reconnoissance show
clearly that the enemy have taken their main
force from the heights of Frederidksburg and
the line down the Rappahannock, and massed it
against us at Chaneellorsville. They have also
removed the greater bulk of their artillery with
the same end i and General Sedgwick, who com
mands the left, thinks himself strong enough to
carry the heights.
Still another co operative role is assigned the
powerful cavalry expedition under General
Stoneman. This is nothing less than to cut the
railroad bridges that cross the two affluents of
the Pamunkey—namely, the North and South
Anna—less than twenty miles from Richmond.
The bridge over the North Anna is a hundred.
and fifty feet long and eighty feet high, and
cannot possibly be reconstructed in less than a.
fortnight.
Whether Stoneman has by this time actually
performed his task, is not yet reported. I have
followed him only as far as Rappahannock Sta.
tien t south of Culpepper, through which he dash
ed on Thursday night.
This rapid survey will indicate bow colossar
is the plan of campaign which General Hooker
has marked out for the army.
The active operations of Saturday comprise Br
serial of attempts in force on the part of the reb
els to break our'line at various points, which ,
were in one case partially seccessful, in another
completely successful, and in all the others com
pletely unsuccessful.
In the morning, as we stood on the balcony or
Chancellor's house, the attention was 'vaulted by
a sharp rattle of musketry coming from a column
of-rebels coming up by the main Fredericksburg
plank road, directly in front of us_ Nnapprs
battery, however, which was planted directly ite ,
front of the position, opened upon them, and ad
ter a few rounds caused them to retire.
Immediately afterwards a battery' opened from
the height which I have mentioned as having
been gained by Sykes yesterday, and then aban
doned by as. The position was rather upwards
o f a mile distant from the cleared space, and its
object was to damage our ammunition train
which was visible to the rebels from the tops of
trees on the height. One of our batteries, how
ever, immediately opened in reply. The third.
_shot blew up , one of the caissons and *subs.- •
quent - shot blew up another, and this wattled.
their account.'
Subsequently a reconnoissance was sent, ow
our part; et - misting of the 26th Pennsylvania
Volunteers, (Cares 'brigade, Berry's division,.
Sickles' corps) on the same road by which the
rebels had approached in the morning. for tho
purpose` of feeling their strength. They went
out on the plank read, deployed on both sides
in
the form of a letter V, chased the rebel skirmish
ers a'couple of miles, till they came to a heavy
double line of battle, with artillery in position.
when they retired „bringing ue that' piecoof in
telligence. '
Another reconnoissance was next sent out ors
our right, consisting of Burden's sharpshooter's. ,
They met the enemy's pickets, drove them hand
somely, end at 4 o'clock returned with fifty pris
oners of the 23d Georgia.
At'4 the rebels are moving down in force cm
the plank road, where we had a little before
made the reconnoissance. Geary's division et
Slocum's corps is sent in on the double-quick in
to the woods—their bayonets dashing in the sun.
light. A sharp contest ensues, and in a few
minutes they come back in disorder. A portion ,
of Katie's brigade, composed of raw troops, hot
broken, and thrown the column into confusion--
An Aid from Slocum comes to ask General
Hooker if he can have reinforcements. "No I: he:
must hold his own. Howard will, of coarse,.
support him from the right. Let Geary'sdivis.
ion, hoWever, be thrown to the right of the road,.
so that the artillery may be able .to sweep- the.
enemy on the left." This treatment presently
repaired the damage, and checked the hope of
the rebels being able to pierce our_centre.
Foiled in this, they now prepared to make- n
still more desperate dash on our right flank.—
We were aware that they had been massing a
gainst that point all the afternoon, sod the ter
rific treble of the demoniac yell with which the
rebels always rush into battle, announced their
approach from the woods by the Culpepper plank
road. daelmon's whole corps, reinforced by De.
H. Hilt's 'division, numbering in all, forty thou-.
sand men, had precipitated themselves on How
ard's corps, forming oar extreme right wing.—
Th is corps is composed of the divisions of -
Schurz, Steinwebr and Davin, and consists in:
great part of - Germari troops.. Without waiting'
for a single - volley from the rebels, this corps
disgracefully abandoned'Abeir position behind
their breastworks; and commenced coming, pata
is stricken, down the road toward headqurters..--
Our right was thus completely turned, and the
rebels in the fair way of doubling us up.
It was a critical situation, and hreught out
the superb • resources of General Hooker. lid
was in the saddle, in a moment, caiw and cool—
the master of a situation fit to overmaster the.
best. The first thing was to check the rebel &d
-eepen, which must become fatal if allowed to go
on much further.
It was a terribly animated scene. The whole:
open plain presented such a speeteele as the rib.
moon might make in the desert. Through tho
dusk of nightfall a rushing whirlwind Omen and
artillery swept over the plain. The shattered,
fleeing columns of men were rushing down sad:
over us at headquarters.
General Hooker - how sent to the aid of Genera
Howard the Second Division of the Third Corps,
commanded by Major General Berry. Captain ,
Best soon moved his 'batteries on a ridge reli
ning across the road, and after a abort, but san
guinary contest, the farther advance of the ante
my was stayed. :
General Pleasanton, too soeceeded in turning
back a dozen Jtienes taken from the flying corps,
and planted them in a favorable position, while
he drew up his little brigade of cavalry, eessiett.
ing of squadrons of the 6th New Tork,fials
Penn
sylvania rind 17th Pennsylvania, with damn ea.
bras, to proteot the guns (a navel sight in battle.)
Directing the pieces tti be dbablekshotted with
canister, he swept the position occupied by the
enemy- with la murderous - fire. The enecees.fut
cheek of the advancing foe is in no Man degree
owing to the indomitable energy of this gallant
soldier.
While this is going on, the penis-striae*
troops are sweeping pest us, and round by head
quarters into the road leading into United Staten ,
Ford. Malay members of, the staff of-General
Hooker, and other' general officers placed them
selves in the read, and with drawn eitfiressesetto
and slaehed thenowardly retreating reseals,.
was all in vain, however. The read for tamer
